After binge-watching all seven seasons of the original show , I couldn’t resist diving into the reboot as well. I have to admit, though — it was a bit of a letdown. Good Memories Aren’t Always Enough For longtime fans who followed the series while it was still airing, this revival might feel like a warm, familiar trip down memory lane. But for me, watching it all at once and then moving into the reboot, it felt like something was missing — maybe depth, maybe emotional weight.  The nostalgia alone just didn’t carry it. Inconsistencies in the Plot? Or Just Underdeveloped? I really appreciated Rory ’s dilemma — it felt genuine and timely. In fact, it raised my expectations for the rest of the story. Unfortunately, those expectations weren’t met.  Lorelai and Luke’s relationship seemed stuck, showing almost no growth after all these years, while Paris’ evolution felt rushed and a bit over-the-top. A Bit of a Disappointment There isn’t much more to say. I adored the or...

One more from A Song of Ice and Fire and plenty more hours of absolute focus and heart-wrenching emotion. The story is evolving magnificently and I’m falling more and more in love with this saga.  They Become More Than Names In the third book, more characters gain a clear voice and that, in turn, enriches the story, letting us have a notion of what they think and why they act the way they do. It makes them more human and as such, more interesting and captivating.  Of course, there is an underlying problem with this… We are talking about a book with plenty of characters, so sometimes it takes a lot of chapters to get back to the one you were wondering about, and you might get a little lost ( need some help? ). Given the new characters' voices and minds, many things are enlightening. Much more of the background story is clearer now, for example. Sometimes, it might just seem like details in the whole story, but somehow, it grants it more consistency and some...

I watched this movie on one of those nights—you know the kind. My husband had a rare evening off, our baby was finally asleep, and we had that golden question on our hands: “Should we watch something? And if so... what?” So I opened Netflix, did a bit of scrolling, and landed on a zombie movie . Why not, right? We hit play. We weren’t expecting much—just something fun to unwind with. First Impressions: An Unexpected Take on the Undead Let me start by saying this: it’s not a bad movie. The plot had some interesting elements, the cast was solid, and the pacing wasn’t awful. But there was one thing that completely threw me off… The zombies run. And jump. And climb. Yes, you read that right. As a fan of zombie movies and post-apocalyptic settings, I’ve seen all kinds of takes on the genre—but this one felt especially… energetic. At first, I couldn’t even process what I was seeing. Zombies aren't supposed to be athletic! It was almost too much for my traditional zom...
